There is not enough information to give you any feedback, yet.
Your standardized test scores will be vital. Aim for 1400+ SAT or 30+ ACT scores to be competitive. Most successful candidates have taken these test several times before application time in order to get their best scores.
Your GPA is good but more information is needed to qualify it. Is this weighted? What classes did you take? If that GPA is for taking 4 AP classes then it is good. If you took sociology, algebra 1, and basket weaving then it is not so good. Taking the most challenging curriculum that is available in your school is the best path.
Your activities are good. Leadership is good. Athletics is short due to only participating in one sport. Do you have a varsity letter in Track and Field?
Your BGO interview will be important. Be prepared for it.
My schools gpa system is weighted but does not go above a 4.0 therefore those weighted class plays a very little role in the gpa but that gpa is made up of a whole term of physics, spanish honors, algebra 2 honors,and chemistry honors, global history honors, and us history honors. I was not able to take ap classes this year because only 2 were offered and the seats were filled but i will be taking those classes next year. I will ask my coach about the varsity letter and i do mixed martial arts outside of school would that go for a sport?
Next year i am actually planning to take 5 ap classes next year would that help?
Take the hardest classes possible and you will be doing what is required. Every school is different and as long as you are taking the most rigorous classes available to you it will be fine. USNA will ask for your school profile from your counselor so they can see what you had available.
If you got a varsity letter in track you would know it. Martial arts is a good addition but it does not take the place of school team athletics. The only exception would be if you were a master of them and were winning regional or national titles.
